Owner & Organizer
Natalie grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She attended Auburn University and graduated with a degree in Accounting. After graduating from Auburn University she moved to Augusta, GA and worked as an accountant for several years. Eventually relocating to the East Cobb area with her family in 2020, Natalie decided she was seeking something different. She had always had a passion for organization and interior design. She found work as an organizer for an internationally branded company and jumped in with both feet. While she learned so much during her time there, she consistently felt that there were gaps in the services offered and that the local East Cobb market deserved a better option. From this desire, accompanied with her love of interior design and organization, she started dreaming of The Well Kept Home.

Lindsey is a native of East Cobb. She attended The University of Georgia and graduated with a degree in elementary education. After working in an area elementary school for 7 years, she decided to stay at home after the birth of her oldest daughter. Although already a naturally organized person, the importance of keeping an orderly classroom environment and list of tasks became vital to her everyday survival with her busy fifth graders. She was able to see how her organized nature could increase the efficiency of the learning and planning happening within her classroom.
After becoming a stay-at-home mom, she uses similar systems in her home and life to keep her every day sanity! Shortly after the birth of her third child, she dipped her toes into the world of professional organizing briefly and discovered it was not the right time in her life to enter back into the working world. Now that her girls are older and she has more time on her hands, the idea of The Well Kept Home was able to come to life.

Marisa is native to East Cobb and graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in Social Work. She worked at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation planning and executing fundraising events for nearly eight years until becoming a stay-at-home-mom to her son, Elliott.
Marisa’s love for home organization and design goes way back — even as a kid, she was rearranging furniture just for fun. That passion followed her into adulthood, and over the years, she found herself helping friends create clean, functional spaces simply because she loved doing it.
When Elliott started preschool, she knew she was ready to pursue a new career path when she saw Alice post The Well Kept Home on her Instagram. From there, the rest fell into place and Marisa joined the team.
Marisa has always believed that when your home feels calm and orderly, everything else feels a little easier too. Whether it’s clearing the kitchen counters, tackling a cluttered pantry, or rethinking a playroom layout, Marisa finds real joy in helping people create spaces that don’t just look nice, but feel good to live in, too.

Lindsey is a Northwest Georgia native who grew up in a small town, learning early on from her mother how to bring structure into life in creative ways. A lifelong DIY enthusiast with an eye for design, she was already flexing her hands-on creativity in elementary school.
That passion for creating functional environments led her to Georgia College & State University and later the University of Georgia, where she earned advanced degrees in Special Education. In her career teaching children with autism and developmental disabilities, Lindsey honed her skill for designing clear, intuitive systems that helped her students easily navigate and utilize their surroundings.
Now a stay-at-home mom of two living in East Cobb, Lindsey relies on those same smart systems to keep her own bustling household (complete with her husband, kids, and the family dog) running smoothly. She knows firsthand how a well-organized environment can calm a frazzled brain, and she loves bringing that same hands-on, organized magic to clients at The Well-Kept Home.
